Thank you Johan.
The table will be read only. There will be two steps - first to get the count using search conditions and then to get data from some columns based on those search conditions. The fields will be indexed as per search requirements. _____ From: vegiv...@gmail.com [mailto:vegiv...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Johan De Meersman Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2009 9:56 PM To: Manish Ranjan (Stigasoft) Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: MySQL Performance with large data The amount and type of data is less the issue than the amount and type of queries is :-) The machine you've described should be able to handle quite a bit of load, though, if well-tuned.

One of my tables (using MyISAM Engine) is expected to have around 4 billion records and each record will have 1867 bytes of data. All fields in this table are of character data type. I have 8 GB RAM on the server, RAID 5 with 750 GB storage space available and quad core processor. My question is whether MySQL will be able to handle queries on this amount of data? What all things I need to consider here? Thank you.
